Chapter 180: Before the game
The competition was held on March 28, and everyone arrived at Jiangbei Airport on the afternoon of the 27th.
After getting off the plane, everyone understood why the Athletics Management Center put the first stop of the National Track and Field Grand Prix in Yucheng.
The temperature here is a little higher than that of Haigeng, the outdoor temperature goes straight to 20 degrees, and it is a bit stuffy, so there is absolutely no problem with outdoor competition in this weather.
"It's a nice day! The mountain city is really worthy of its name, even in winter, with its own characteristics of the mountain city, you see that the humid air is really nourishing! ”
Director Sun said, taking a deep breath, giving people the feeling of looking down on the fairyland on the high mountain.
"It's good, it's just that the road is uneven, one will go uphill and one will go downhill, and it's a little difficult to walk! But the girl's skin is really good, haha! ”
Liu Feiren said and laughed, probably because the skin on his face was relatively rough, so he paid more attention to everyone's skin.
However, after looking at a few people passing by, the skin is good.
This time, many members of the track and field team came to participate in the competition, so after the organizing committee of the event communicated, a bus will be appointed to pick up the plane.
"I finally don't have to climb anymore, I really miss the days of walking on the flat road!"
After getting on the bus, Zhang Yuanteng began to sigh to himself, he is a northerner, and the places where he lives are all plains, and he has never encountered such road conditions before.
"That's the case in Chongqing, the city is built in the mountains, and the roads go up and down. If you are not a local, it is easy to get lost, and there is basically only one nearest way to a place, and if you miss it, you won't get it! “
may have known that today's pick-up track and field team was picked up, and the driver's mood seemed to be very high, and he immediately answered when he heard Zhang Yuanteng speak.
Although Mandarin is good, I can still hear a little dialect from the last sentence. Judging from the driver's expression, he looked full of pride from the mountain city.
After arriving at the hotel booked in advance by the organizing committee, the team leader of this trip, Director Sun, contacted the organizing committee to sign in and register.
After making a simple adjustment, Wang Qiao seized this free time before dinner to adapt to the venue with the five members of the sprint group.
It stands to reason that the players of the national team should be experienced in all competitions and familiar with the venues in major cities.
However, this sprint team is an exception, except for Hu Huo, a college student who has several years of competition experience, the oldest member of the other team members is only 20 years old, and the team of this age cannot have a lot of experience in competition.
What they have should be extraordinary talent and potential, because they are young, so there are many possibilities for the future.
Time is sometimes a terrible thing, and sometimes you haven't transitioned from being a young person, and one day you suddenly realize that you are not young.
Wang Qiao was born as an athlete, and he has a deep personal experience of this, so he grasps these athletes very tightly. Although he has no confidence in the level of coaching, compared with well-known coaches such as Zou Zhen and Coach Sun, and compared with the track and field encyclopedia of Coach Jiang, he is even worse.
After all, I have been a coach in school all these years, and I have been a sports coach in most universities, and my usual work is not much different from that of a physical education teacher.
Even if it is a translator who has been with the team many times, he has more experience in the competition than Wang Qiao at this time, and Wang Qiao feels like a rookie among athletes in this regard, and he needs to be further familiar with many new technologies and young players from other countries.
However, Wang Qiao is very confident in becoming a qualified and professional coach. In addition to not having on-site competition experience, he has also been paying attention to track and field trends at home and abroad when he was a coach at school.
Of course, professional ability is only the basic requirement for a coach, Wang Qiao can be accepted so quickly and gain a firm foothold in the national team. In addition to his active dedication to work, other aspects are reflected in being a person.
For example, the five players present this time, he is only responsible for Lu Wei's results. However, he still watched everyone closely during his usual training, and did not let any of the players have a chance to relax.
As someone who has come before, he knows very well what youth means to these players. Today's young people have experienced things that they have experienced, so he will never allow these players to have no good results in their lives because of the coach.
For example, after meeting Lu Wei, he changed the rough guidance method he was used to in college, and broke down every action link and reason for doing so to Lu Wei clearly.
Although Lu Wei was annoyed by him many times, when he realized that he was truly good for himself, he could also endure to listen to his words.
He is also very concerned about the psychological state of the players during the usual training, the substitute Wen Ningyi of the relay team talks about age, and the position in the relay team is more awkward, the substitute team members are always psychologically compared to the main players, and they always feel that they are almost something with others, and other athletes and coaches may stab young people like Wen Ningyi because of their inattention when they are talking intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Qiao paid more attention to these details in training, before Lu Wei and Shen Liang kept racing 60 meters every day, Wen Ningyi trained with Shen Liang.
Shen Liang's character is the kind of player who wants to compete for superiority in everything, and he never let Wen Ningyi during training, and after a day of training, the group confrontation between the two basically ended with Shen Liang winning.
After Wang Qiao put Shen Liang to train with Lu Wei, Wen Ningyi and the other two team members were divided into a group. In terms of emotional intelligence, college athletes Hu Huo and Zhang Yuanteng are not much more sophisticated than 18-year-old Shen Liang in this regard. Every day's game, everyone wins and loses against each other, and Wen Ningyi doesn't let Wen Ningyi realize it.
After a long time, everyone reached a consensus: it was very comfortable to train with Wang Qiao.
So this time, the field management center let Wang Qiao take these 5 young men to participate in the competition, and it is absolutely impossible for another person to come to the team for half a year.
Because there are relatively many participants in this competition, the competition time is 3 days, and if all the 3 days are used for the competition, the time is not compact.
The first competition the next morning was the men's 110-meter hurdles, because of Liu Feiren's participation, so just after 8 o'clock in the morning, the stadium that can accommodate almost 5,000 people sat more than half of the people, which was very rare.
The people of Yamashiro do have a high passion for sports, and the most famous is the cry of "rising" for their team in the early days of the establishment of the professional league.
The 110m hurdles is a very technical event, which is difficult to practice and there is a lot of uncertainty in the competition. The budget players barely managed to make up 4 groups, there was no semi-final, and the final was held in the afternoon.
Liu Feiren's performance in the preliminaries can be said to be relaxed and relaxed, and after coming down from the last hurdle, he slowly ran through the finish line.
Even so, his advantage is still great. In the domestic competition, the name Liu Feiren is a natural coercion for other players, and the players in the same group as Liu Feiren have basically admitted it before they have competed.
Shi Peng also won the first place in his group, although he did not have the dominance of Liu Feiren, but he was able to basically win all the domestic competitions in the absence of the opponent.
After the 110m hurdles, the men's 5000m and women's 800m heats were held, and the organizing committee also fully took into account the feelings of the audience when setting up the competition.
At 9:30 a.m., the 100-meter race was checked-in. After Wang Qiao finally told a few people some precautions, he turned around and walked to the rostrum to greet Yu Wei.
"Director Yu, I don't need you to speak today, why are you in such a hurry, come here on a very early flight!"
Wang Qiao sat behind Yu Wei with a smile, because he was the coach of the national team, the organizing committee also arranged a seat for him.
"Not really! I've been sleeping since I got on the plane in the morning, and I missed all the light meals on the plane. I didn't do anything after I got off the plane, so I went to a ramen restaurant near the airport and got a bowl of ramen. I didn't expect the ramen to be spicy, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to run to the toilet when I'm older......"
After seeing Wang Qiao, Yu Wei's interest in complaining came up at once.
"I remember getting off the airport bus and turning a corner to find the bus coming here. I didn't expect to walk for almost half an hour and didn't find it, and I didn't understand when I asked for directions. By the way, how are those living treasures doing today? “
After the complaint, Yu Wei first asked the guys from the sprint relay team.
In addition to supervising the senior team, Yu Wei is also responsible for the work of the youth team during this Olympic cycle.
It stands to reason that 4 of the 5 people in the relay team should be thrown into the youth team for exercise, but in Yu Wei's view, Huaxia's current sprinting level is basically like this, and there are no more than 10 team members who can run within 10.3 seconds, and those who can qualify for the Olympic Games
These players are basically the strongest among the young players, and compared with other team members, their results are among the best, and even if there is a gap before, they are not weak.
After a year's training, I'm afraid I won't lose to other players.
"The state should be good, this time except for Xiao Wen's ability to be weaker, the other 4 people should be able to run within 10 seconds 3, I think Lu Wei's hope of reaching the standard is great, Hu Huo is afraid that it will depend on the on-the-spot performance."
After listening to Wang Qiao's words, Yu Wei nodded with satisfaction: "If there are 4 people who can win the A standard of the Olympic Games, it means that our strength is also good!" Since the establishment of our field management center, we have never taken all the places in the 100-meter race, and sometimes it is enough to take 1 place. “
Obviously, Yu Wei is very confident in the team members under his nose, and today is the day to test the sprinting work in the past few years.
